R&d engineer or product development

Engineering department. RxO lenses Sedico plant, Belluno (IT) –Surfacing and Tinting processes of RX lenses (polymeric materials).
 Development and launch of new process technologies and new process equipment starting from Feasibility phase to
Mass Production under strict time, cost and industrial constraints (quality, processability, safety, maintenance).
 Launch of new Products from Prototype to Mass Production under the same constraints.
 Technical background in processing polymeric materials through surfacing machines (milling, polishing, engraving
machines); optics; colorimetry. Secondarily: PVD technology, cutting technology.

Engineering department. Sun lenses Lauriano plant, Turin (IT) – Hard Coating, Tinting, Washing treatments of polymeric materials.
 Projects aimed to the process improvement concerning production efficiency and product quality.
 Problem solving of Quality process/product issues in mass production.
 Technical background in hard-coating, tinting processes (via dipping) and also injection molding technology.

My professional education was at Politecnico di Milano, where I took Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology. During these academic years I acquired technical know-how of chemistry and physics of many families of materials and nanotechnologies, their technological applications, devices and characterization techniques.
Furthermore, I obtained a scientific/engineering method for problem solving, employed and experienced especially in the Bachelor and Master Degree thesis. They consisted in experimental projects in laboratory (6 and 9 months respectively) structured as follows: bibliographic research in order to get a full picture of the state of the art, purpose and background of the scientific topic. Operative research in laboratory was targeted on the improvement of specific parameters with One Variable At Time (OVAT) and factorial experiments. Samples were characterized through advanced techniques (SEM, XRD, spectrophotometer…) and the results of the experiments were elaborated with software like Microsoft Excel, Origin and Minitab. Results were finally summarized and reorganized in a written detailed report. These experiences grew my attraction for research projects in chemical and scientific fields.
